it might be one of the brake calipers jamming on. lift each wheel in turn ( chock the others first ) and see if they turn easily or feel tight to move.

also check for an oil leak at the rocker covers , maybe oil is falling on exhaust manifold.

Manual -> worn clutch ?
Does the engine rev up in a funny way when you floor the accelerator in a high gear?
